Question

MODELING - Complementary Angles The difference between the measures of two complementary angles is 16°. Determine the measures of the two angles.

Answer 1

complementary angles are angles whose sum is 90

let x, y be two complementary angles

x+y = 90 -------- (1)
x-y = 16 -------- (2)

Answer 2

you can solve them i hope ?

Answer 3

x+y=90 x-y=16 add them: 2x = 106 x = 53 Get y: y = 90-53 = 37 They are 37 degrees and 53 degrees
